The ED theme song has a nice smooth melody feeling to it, nice.

I really hope this show delivers as it has as it seems to have a lot of potential.

Ooh. Interesting. Hopefully this will be better than Gangsta.

**Hears awkward silence**

What? Too soon?

RIP Manglobe.

I really want to be excited for this. It sounds very cool. But Taku Kishimoto but both Erased and Joker Game have had some of the exact same flaws in their writing that make me wonder if he's really that good of a writer. Over the top drama is okay, sometimes, but I'd like for this to be a little more serious, if possible. And I don't know if Kishimoto is capable of that.

Erased and Joker Game were adaptations. Actually looking through Kishimoto's work, I think it's all adaptations. And I thought that a lot of Erased were actually elevated by its adaptation, notably all the Satoru and Kayo stuff. So it will be interesting to see how 91 Days pans out. This definitely looks like something right up my alley, so it'd have to be pretty bad for me to not watch it. Makes me think Baccano meets Gangsta. There's no way it will be as fun as Baccano, but hopefully it can be better than Gangsta (which I actually enjoyed quite a bit, despite its flaws and Manglobe's money problems).

Still not pleased about Sony Music handling the theme songs and forcing their artists onto this project that probably aren't going to fit the period drama tone they're trying to strike with it at all. Then being involved continues to give me a bad feeling about a project I was initially kind of interested in.

Right. But he had to adapt it to screen, so he could have definitely added flair that was not there before. There are a couple things in both of those shows that feel like they are from the same person. I don't know if they are in the source material or not, because I haven't read either, but given that he is script-writing both, and there is no other overlap in the writing staff that I know of, it seems likely to me that he is responsible. If that is just how both of those source materials happen to be written, great. I hope that is the case.

Who would you choose to do the theme songs?
